The tiny, old-fashioned shop 'Gammarelli' in downtown Rome, Italy displayed on March 4, 2013 the three sets of white vestments to be shipped to the Vatican for the new pope. Here have been made three versions, small, medium and large of the white vestments the new pope will wear when he first appears to the world. 'Gammarelli', as the ecclesiastical fashion house is known, has dressed the spiritual leaders of the Roman Catholic Church since 1798. 'We have prepared three vestments in white wool, a stole, red loafers, a skullcap, as well as a red velvet cape with a white fur border since it's winter, ' says Lorenzo Gammarelli. It's a delicate mission that Gammarelli's expert tailors have been long accustomed to - as shown by the framed images of all the popes they have worked for on the walls of the old-worldy shop. Proudly displayed in the store on a side street near the Pantheon in central Rome are also certificates that say the tailor is an official supplier to the Vatican. And when the next pope emerges in front of the crowds in St Peter's square and with millions around the world watching, he will be dressed head to toe in Gammarelli.
